Thread Name: BS: Armitage Shanks
Subject: RE: BS: Armitage Shanks
A "shank" is, in prison argot, a home-made knife. To "shank" someone is to stick the blade into him or her.

This is not graffiti, it's an advert for a guy named Armitage who kills people. I suppose it could and probably does advertise his home-made blades.

I'm rather surprised that the UK allows such advertising, but over here it often reads "American Standard."
